buff orpington

Hi! I am hoping this is a buff orpington (as that is what the local feed store told me she was... also not sure its a she but just putting it out there 😁) I'm a first time chicken mama, so I'm still learning about the various characteristics of breeds. If she's not a buff orpington, then I'll...

I have an eight and a half month old Buff Orpington (her name is Leeli) that is egg bound. She is panting and can barely stay awake. She can't stand up and doesn't have any balance. She is exhausted. I brought her inside and she passed some egg yolk. That confirmed my fears. We soaked her in...

Hello! Not new to chicken raising in general (variety of mutts at former workplace) but finally new to having my own chickens at home! I acquired 2 welsummers, 2 brown leghorns (I'll not know the difference between those four until their earlobes change), and 2 buff orpingtons from a local feed...

This is Chip. she’s a 7 month old Buff Orpington. hasn’t began to lay yet. about a month ago I noticed that Chip had stopped eating. Upon first glance it seemed like she was, but she was pretending to eat by picking grains up and flicking them away. her crop was empty. she was drinking water...

Pullet Or Cockerel?

Hi all you smart people out there; I have a 10 month old Buff Orpington girl who spends the entire days in the nest box - in the middle of the coldest winter in years in Sweden - without laying any eggs. She will eventually get up and roost at night, but she runt to the preferred nestbox early...

Just for fun, as we got an assortment of a barnyard mix for our broody from a friend a few weeks ago. She wasn't even sure if some of the eggs were fertilized or not (details in another post) But out of 12 I popped under our broody, 6 hatched (4 nonfert, 1 busted, 1 died about a week before)...

These eggs are from my Buff Orpingtons. They often have what looks like dirt in them--sometimes stuck to the yolk, other times little flakes or specks floating in the white. I'm 100% sure it's not from the shell or dirt that fell in; it definitely originates in the egg. What could it be?

What is your favorite chicken breed??? My personal favorite is the Buff Orpington - Pecan loves snuggle time 😊🐔

Welcome to Rusty Bucket Farm! This is Rusty, age unknown, maybe 5ish: We adopted him after his first life as a pet came to an end. He's kind of living out his retirement with us, although we managed to get a handful of lovely chicks from him this year. Looks like a Niederrheiner or a variant...

Last night my husband rescued 3 chickens from some not so great conditions. Two buff orpington hens and one barred rock rooster - 8 mo old.They're all a little skittish after being cooped up for their entire lives. Looking to re-home them to more humane conditions. I would integrate them with my...

I have a 1 year old Buff Orpington hen that is acting strangely, she is panting and clicking in a way that sounds like a goose, she has an abnormally large belly, I have tried to drain it but nothing comes out but digesting food, she is a chicken that is usually heavy, but is extremely light...

Hello, we hatched these 2 buff Orpington chicks (9 weeks old today), I’m wondering if anyone can help me with gender … I’m hopeful both are pullets 🤞🏼 Thank you

I know it’s early but I like to keep guessing We have chickens already but got them as laying hens. So this is our first time with chicks. We have 6. They were sexed with 90% accuracy so I am always expecting at least 1 to be a roo. I have 2 that I am suspicious of Rhode Island Red Buff orpington

Boy or Girl? What do you guys think?🧐

I have 8 chickens who 5 are 9 weeks and 3 are 11 weeks. These ladies (the light tan ones) are 11 weeks old and I think they are buff orpingtons. Am I correct?

Hello, one of my 2-year-old buff orpingtons has a large fluid-filled mass below her vent. She’s still free ranging, eating and drinking (as far as I can tell), moving and socializing normally, and her comb looks firm and red. Last night I gave her an epsom salt bath and sprayed vetericin on it...

So I have a small flock, 11 chickens, 12 now I guess. 9 Barred Rock hens, 1 Buff Orpington hen, 1 Buff Orpington rooster, and now this little fuzzball named Nugget. My Buff Orpington hen, Elizabeth, was trying to hatch 3 eggs. She hatched 1 and abandoned the other 2 eggs. Looking at this chick...

Hi! My name is Nat. I recently brought home my first ever baby chicks. I am in love with their outgoing, sweet personalities and I can't wait to watch them grow! (1) My grandfather had chickens and owned/worked a farm. This is my first experience with chickens, and I would like to open up a...
